The People’s Republic of China poses a colossal threat to American values and the freedom-based world order. No other nation that has confronted the United States and its allies has possessed China’s combination of economic and military strength, which enables Beijing’s exploitative and bellicose foreign policies.

If American citizens are not strong, Washington cannot lead internationally. If the US falters, despotic regimes led by the PRC will fill the void. And America can only succeed in defending freedom if it works diligently to create a new global alliance for freedom, linking established and nascent alliance structures to venerate liberty and the primacy of the individual.

Join Hudson’s China Center for a conversation with leading experts and diplomats on how the US can forge this new coalition.
